The good news is that the onslaught of digital capture has considerably lessened interest in film scanning, so that good scanners are MUCH cheaper now than a few years ago. For well under $1K you can pick up a top-of-the-line consumer scanner which will blow away anything you can get on a CD from a consumer lab. Your biggest investment will be the time spent on scanning and editing your images, not the price you pay for the scanenr.
